Print and media handling options
EFI UltraClear Coat provides a more flexible cure and can be used for decorative applications as well as for a final protective coating. It prints inline, simultaneously with the image, saving time versus using a separate offline coating system, and in gloss* or matte finishes.
* Use Gloss print mode for full protection
EFI VUTEk Endura Clear Ink – Enhance an entire image (full flood) or selected areas (spot) to add extra pop to colors or special effects to graphics. Endura clear ink is printed in line with the other colors and provides a hard surface cure with a gloss finish.
EFI Transform-TF Inks – next-generation, LED-curable digital inks formulated for first- and second-surface interior and exterior and non-backlit and backlit applications where common thermoforming is specified. Transform-TF inks exhibit outstanding elongation characteristics while maintaining excellent adhesion and opacity and provide ideal characteristics for heat bending and routing of acrylic sheets with no chipping or loss of adhesion. And since Transform-TF inks adhere to a broad range of materials, applications go well beyond thermoforming.
Gloss+ print mode – use this innovative print mode to add a flood or selective gloss effect to graphic prints without the use of clear ink. It’s the perfect way to add value to short-run, specialty jobs.
Double vacuum kit – get better control of thicker media and thin, light-edged materials by doubling the vacuum strength on the print table.
Media handling accessories
All new media hold-down rollers mount to existing MEG rails and the spring rollers force media into the vacuum, often eliminating the need for MEG skis.
Media Edge Guide (MEG) skis are available in 0.063 in, 0.094 in, and 0.012 in thicknesses.
